pauy in deep I’ed soil, but in dry and bigb lands I have seen sandal 
growing very poorly in its company. 
{64) Castanospennuvi australe . — Dr. Barber has found sandal 
haustoria on this species penetrating its roots and devouring small 
ones. It may prove a good host. Further examination of affected 
roots to .see the extent of attack seems necessary. 
Com;bretace.e. 
(6o) CombreturiL ovalifolium — (Deciduous climber). — The traces 
of attack on this species were not numerous in the roots examined ; 
only a few haustoria and scars were found on a root about 2 feet 
long and they were of medium size and scars deep exposing the 
wood of the host to view ; this species is commonly found in sandal 
areas. 
{66) Gyrocarijus umericanus — (Deciduous tree). — The sandal 
attack on this species is pretty extensive and the haustoria burrow 
into its soft and spongy woody tissues destroying them ; the haus- 
toria on the specimen examined were of medium size and flat. 
This species is occasionally met with in sandal tracts. Sir 
D. Brandis has included this species under Kernandiece. 
{67) Terminalia Arjuna — (Deciduous tree). — I examined only 
one root of this and found it attacked moderately ; the root collected 
having been lost I am unable to describe the haustoria or their 
scars on this species. Dr. Barber has examined the haustoria under 
the microscope and found them penetrate into the woody tissues. 
{68) Terminalia Chebula — (Deciduous tree). — I have not seen 
attacked roots of this species. Dr. Barber examined sandal haus- 
toria on them under the microscope. To what extent this is useful 
as a nurse for sandal requires further investigation. 
MYRTACERi . 
{69) Eugenia jambolana — (Evergreen tree). — A young affected 
root of this tree contained a number of medium-sized haustoria and 
scars which were covered with a layer of dark-coloured cork ; the 
haustoria had penetrated the woody clinder of the host ; being a 
good timber tree, its association with sandal would be doubly pro- 
fitable. Mr. G. W. Thompson found young sandal seedlings 
attacking rootlets of this species.^
